Just been reading about the HG failures on that engine - terrible that Toyota didn't do anything like a recall on it for what is a simple and easy fix.
Apparently you just torque the bolts up higher then the OEM speck!! easy.

Yeah I'm wishing I had got round to doing that when I got the car now, but you also get a lot of differing opinions on this, some say just replace the gasket as re-torquing will just damage the gasket.
Anyway I'm going to take the head of this weekend probably and see what the damage is like.
When the car is working I love it but when it kicks up problems it can get a bit depressing, but it is a 20 year old car.

Thats the problem with a 20 year old car - sometimes they play up a bit. Then again so do new cars
